well to visually remove the widget you can just call the 
setVisible(false) method on the widget object.  however, to actually 
remove it from its parent container you must call the remove(Component) 
method of the parent container passing it the widget to remove.  but 
remember to do this depth first to remove all the widgets beneath the 
widget you wish to removing or you'll have resource leaks.  also, don't 
forget to remove the widget, its treepath and DOM path from the 
correlation table.

work has been pretty busy getting things ready for the begining of 
classes here next week so i haven't had many evenings to work on 
bojangles.  things should slow down in the next week or two once classes 
start (i'm hoping :)).

later,
